The Over/Under R...By Jordan Raanan, XFINITY SportsNFL Columnist Prognostication is a tough business. But I'm not scared (completely). I'm ready to give it another go-around with the 2012 NFL over/unders.

Last season, I was a respectable 16-16. Not bad. Good enough to keep my job.

This year I'm guaranteeing—you know, one of those Rex Ryan guarantees where if I don't come through I'll just lose a ton of weight instead to distract your attention—a winning record. I've studied and dissected every team, every player. I've pored through the schedules. I've noticed trends and developed theories. And after all the hard work, this is the brilliance I've come up with.

Winning record here I come. Book it. (AP Photos)

Atlanta FalconsOver/Under: 9 Wins Raanan's Read: Over. This is Matt Ryan's year… as long as his offensive line holds up. Atlanta's a playoff team on the strength of its passing game. I know, it sounds weird. (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky)

Cleveland BrownsOver/Under: 5 Wins Raanan's Read: Under. With the injuries and suspensions the Browns face early in the season, combined with a rookie starting quarterback and running back, it's hard to see the Browns winning much this year. (AP Photo/Tony Dejak)

Oakland RaidersOver/Under: 7 Wins Raanan's Read: Under. New coach Dennis Allen and GM Reggie McKenzie need at least another year (and some salary cap flexibility) before they get the right personnel in place defensively.
